1099s

This article documents how to setup and process 1099s for vendors. 

The 1099 form is a series of documents the IRS refers to as "Information Returns". There are a number of different 1099 forms that report various type of incomes.

ERP currently provides 1099-MISC (Independent contractor income), 1099-DIV (Dividends income) and 1099-INT (Interest income).

1099 Box Setup

This 1099 Box will indicate which type of 1099 form and which type of income the vendor is setup for.

For example: the 1099-MISC form has a number of different types of miscellaneous incomes such as Rents, Royalties, Other Income, Federal Income Tax Withheld, etc...

Each type of income was assigned to a box number on the form by the IRS.

For example:

1099-MISC for Rents will be printed in box number "1".

1099-MISC for Royalties will be printed in box number "2".

1099-MISC for NonEmployee Compensation will be printed in box number "7".

ERP currently provided an up to date list of 1099 box types for 1099-MISC, 1099-DIV & 1099-INT.
